Kerala Chief Minister VD Satheesan Defends Chopper Use, Hits Back At Left Over Flood Criticism | Read

Kerala Chief Minister VD Satheesan has hit back at the Left Front for attacking his helicopter travel, saying he did not use it for any private purpose. The Left Front had attacked the Chief Minister for using a chopper while the state battled devastating floods. "The journey was entirely official. It was for discussions with investors. I had originally booked a Vande Bharat ticket, but the investors had limited time, which is why I travelled by helicopter," Satheesan said in response to the criticism. He further added that the trip did not cost the government anything extra as the chopper had been hired by the previous LDF government.
